box shadow (#15204)
# Objective

UI box shadow support

Adds a new component `BoxShadow`:

```rust
pub struct BoxShadow {
    /// The shadow's color
    pub color: Color,
    /// Horizontal offset
    pub x_offset: Val,
    /// Vertical offset
    pub y_offset: Val,
    /// Horizontal difference in size from the occluding uninode
    pub spread_radius: Val,
    /// Blurriness of the shadow
    pub blur_radius: Val,
}
```

To use `BoxShadow`, add the component to any Bevy UI node and a shadow
will be drawn beneath that node.
Also adds a resource `BoxShadowSamples` that can be used to adjust the
shadow quality.

#### Notes
* I'm not super happy with the field names. Maybe we need a `struct Size
{ width: Val, height: Val }` type or something.
* The shader isn't very optimised but I don't see that it's too
important for now as the number of shadows being rendered is not going
to be massive most of the time. I think it's more important to get the
API and geometry correct with this PR.
* I didn't implement an inset property, it's not essential and can
easily be added in a follow up.
* Shadows are only rendered for uinodes, not for images or text.
* Batching isn't supported, it would need out-of-the-scope-of-this-pr
changes to the way the UI handles z-ordering for it to be effective.
